Thus sounds, resounds, the darkling airy spume,the sea foam gusting from the mouths of menwho once bestrode, colossi, giants, hulks,and Ozymandii, the earth; thus crackblack waves 'gainst cold notched graves. So diesremembrance. So I learned from NPR.Who let the dogs out? Edward Cullen? Rats?No matter. It is done. A baby yawps,and words, like works, like jazz, like Yonkers, foxes,papa's panic palace, Austens - die.But they were real. But they were real. But theywere real. Their authors should be proud. Hooray!

WHAT WE DO

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
